AWANA 2025

---

 Either choice is available. Most famillies pay in the Fall at the time of registration, but for some, paying monthly or weekly works better 

AWANA is a non-profit program, our intent is to teach children the Word of God in a fun, energetic, and productive environment.Therefore, we will not deny participation due to an inability to pay. As a program, we dedicate 25% of our yearly funds to support these circumstances. All you would need to do is fill out an AWANA scholarship form and turn it into the AWANA Secretary or upload it under "Upload Receipt/Scholarship form" if registering online. However, the scholarship is only granted once the clubber completes thier preliminary packet (required for all clubbers before progressing to the book). Also, the scholarship only covers required course material and not additional AWANA items. Lastly, the scholarship covers a one time purchase of material. If the clubber loses thier book, uniform, etc. then no replacement will be offered without payment.  

Palms Baptist Church

 See the AWANA Secretary before club begins on Wednesday night and she can give you your remaining balance. We also send out an owed balance sheet half-way through the year to remind parents/guardians of their outstanding balance.  

 No, but there are a couple options to help. One, see the AWANA Secretary or AWANA Commander to work-out a payment plan. Second, you can submit a scholarship application to cover the costs that you cannot afford.  

 AWANA follows the local school district's calendar. Typically, this means AWANA begins early September and ends mid-June.  

 The registration fee covers all awards (jewels, certificates, patches, trophies, plaques, etc.) as well as Grand Prix car kits, classroom supplies, AWANA games equipment, snacks, and special events 

 Three years old (as of September 1st of that year) through Highschool. Pre-K clubbers must be potty trained.  

 You have both options. We ask the children are checked in (5:45-6:00pm) and picked up (7:30pm) on time. If you would like to stay close, There is a Bible study that same night from 6:15pm-7:15pm at the church. You can also serve as a leader! If so, talk to the AWANA Commander about potential service in the AWANA ministry.  

 If you would like to serve in AWANA, speak to the AWANA Commander and express your desire to serve. Before you can serve, you must complete the leaders packet form which authorizes a background check (in keeping with California law) as well as includes a personal testimony and recgonizing child abuse training. Once this packet has been screened, your background check is approved, and a one-on-one interview with the Commander is complete, you are authorized to begin serving in the ministry.  

AWANA is a community ministry. Children from all churches are welcome.
